329: Mountain

I stand

Eyes closed

Palms open

I see you

Hands intertwined

Hearts beating together

Feeding the fire

I see it.

I'm so cold —

I almost reach out to feel that warmth

But I know I have my own flame

In my own heart

It's weathered countless storms

That you cannot begin to imagine

I've survived alone

And heaven help you if you think

That you can dim this light
